Installed the Twitter "colour" emoji but actual display is not coloured

[ghost]

My system is Manjaro Linux (Arch-based)
Using the newest Twitter font (12.0.1) and followed the instructions on the page to install on any Linux
However the actual displayed emoji is NOT coloured at all.
Tried fc-cache -rv sudo fc-cache -rv and changing the default fonts in the browser but it still does not work.
I am using Chromium
Here is the screenshot

You can clearly see that it is black and white. Where the **** are the colours???

There's no need to curse about this, even in asterisk form. Chromium does not and will not support SVG-in-OT color fonts: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=306078 Details from the README:

The font works in all operating systems, but will currently only show color emoji in Firefox, Thunderbird, Photoshop CC 2017, and Windows Edge V38.14393+. This is not a limitation of the font, but of the operating systems and applications. Regular B&W outline emoji are included for backwards/fallback compatibility.

Please follow #25 for updates if/when I support the Chrome/Android CBDT format.

Sorry for the profanity. I just couldn't help it.
But it even doesn't work outside the browser

It is a screenshot in LibreOffice writer where I copy&paste the flag emojis into it

well, it doesn't work in vscode or elsewhere in windows 10 for me neither. Even if in theory it somehow could, this is in no way practically usable for windows.
